Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis-Yuriorkis Gamboa: Afterthoughts

[ShoulderRoll]

Hard work can beat talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Gervonta Davis would be wise to remember that.

yeah but inoue goes life and death with 37 year old donaire and hes a legend now

Spot on bro. The Hypocrisy is out of control in boxing. Don’t forget Tyson Fury almost losing an eye in the ring fighting a guy ranked in the the double digits.

They still tried to keep him above Wilder and cried to no end about Wilder knocking out the number 4 ranked heavyweight on the planet.

There are so many instances of this outbreak of Biased driven illogic. No one in their right mind can say enfranchised boxing media isn’t made up of lying writers (not journalist) taking pay to create a false narrative.

Just needs to be said that’s all. They have to live with being who they are. We just need to know this is a war to surface the truth.

Not saying I disagree with a desire to see more from this entire weight class but boxing Media and fans should be embarrassed with the difference in how the media critiques and moves fighters.

Just going to add for whatever reason because anyone objective knows the promotional truths reinforcing this inequity.

So Tank Davis has titles in two divisions with impressive KO victory’s over several. At the time they were ranked/ named guys:
- Yuriorkis Gamboa
- Liam Walsh
- Jose Pedraza
- Francisco Fonseca
- Jesus Cuellar
- Ricardo Nunez

Now not saying this is the very top of 130/135 but most were solid when he fought them. Some are the best names on others resumes.

In addition, Tank was scheduled to fight with Abner Mares and that fell thru due to a bad Mares eye injury. You would think not Tanks fault?

Now I am equally impressed by Lopez, and Haney but neither has received the outward pressure that Tank has. Both have taken upon them selves to pursue big fights with Loma. However they are just now pulling the names needed.

Let’s not even bring up Ryan Garcia who has not fought anyone yet with a pulse. Not saying Tank is the better fighter of the four but look at their resumes who has the better list of names and outcomes.

In addition, this was a move to a new wight class. Outside of the round Gamboa had the shoe issue and the next I saw no challenges with his movement. And with all the nobility placed on him I heard Gamboa say something was wrong wit the shoe and wanted to quit. His corner made him fight. It was a good fight, Tank dominated and closed the show. Boxing casuals were happy.

But only with certain fighters does everything that happens negative stick to them. How is Gamboa suffering and injury during an earned knock down count against him. In addition if he hurt his Achilles it was a small tear. Because if he snapped his Achilles there would be no control over the foot.

But my issue is for some fighters there is the not ready defense, the political lines defense, the upgrading of poor competition defense. Terrence was hit by Gamboa and he may be close to the best name on his resume. Tank is fighting a bum that beat the guy who beat Loma. Btw- Gamboa looked bad in fights before Crawford. But in this sport you can be washed up and a killer next week depending on the person you are fighting and there financial backers.

For Tank there are no right moves or positive outcomes. Why is that? This is some agenda driven political BS. Media shut up and just help make all the right fights happen. That’s the injection that boxing needs. That’s all you need to do.

- Yuriorkis Gamboa (prime was 10 years ago)
- Liam Walsh (who?)
- Jose Pedraza (good win)
- Francisco Fonseca (came in 2 pounds overweight and looked ****ty.)
- Jesus Cuellar (featherweight)
- Ricardo Nunez (Who?)

So who on there is the best name on someones Resume? Gamboa? that fight was five years ago. You'd probably go crazy if Tank beat Rigondeaux at 135 too (maybe in a couple years though, Rigo doesn't look shot enough just yet)

And now you're saying him and Mares would have been a good fight? another past prime featherweight?

Oh good lord, now you've piqued my interest. Who is "they" and what's the war you're fighting? Fighting the good fight to make sure people who have followed the sport for decades don't think that Davis is protected?

its out of control man it really is.....gamboa is old....and crippled....ortiz is old and decrepit...he aint never beat nobody

but inoue is a legend for beating an old donaire....and fury is a legend for getting off the canvas twice against someone as awful as wilder....and scraping by wallin....

we could go on and on and on

You’re really not trying to compare these 2 fights surely, that’s getting desperate

Donaire beat and retired Ryan Burnett the fight before Inoue.

and before that he took a loss in a really good fight...to Carl Frampton...at featherweight.

So yeah, he was fighting top guys.
